Özet

In the village of Lauscha in Germany, things have been done the same way for centuries. The men blow the glass, and the women decorate and pack it. But when Joost Steinmann passes away unexpectedly one September night, his three daughters must learn to fend for themselves. While feisty Johanna takes a practical approach to looking for work, Ruth follows her heart, aiming to catch the eye of a handsome young villager. But it is dreamy, quiet Marie who has always been the most captivated by the magic - and sparkling possibilities - of the craft of glassblowing. As the spirited sisters work together to forge a brighter future for themselves on their own terms, they learn not only how to thrive in a man’s world, but how to remain true to themselves - and their hearts - in the process.

The story is brilliant but the narrator kept pronouncing words like shone as shown e.g. the sun shown brightly. It was quite distracting

I have to say this was pretty dire. I stuck it out till the end because I was truly hoping it would improve, but the writing could have been straight from the Mills and Boons library, or from the over active imagination of a lovesick teenager. It was truly laughable in parts and I suppose a saving grace could have been that it was entertaining although not in the way it was intended. The story could have been interesting but really it could have done without the swelling bosoms, the constant whining, the flashing eyes and tossing heads and all the other romantic fiction rubbish. The glassblowing information and lifestyle should have been fascinating but wasn't because it was just the backdrop to the ridiculous romances.

The reader was truly dreadful although I suppose it could be said that if you're going to have whining main characters then you should have a whining reader. It would have been so much better to have had a European reader with European pronunciation rather than the irritating grating American accent with its mispronounciation. I hated it.
